Indoor Grills & Panini Presses

Grilling is a classic cooking method favored by many people. Holidays, tailgating and other traditions have grilling at their core. But in inclement weather, cooks must be creative about how to get their perfectly charred delicacies. Enter the indoor grill. There are several choices to suit the needs of any grill master. For the specialist, infrared or electric-powered indoor grills focus solely on grilling the perfect burger or sausage without leaving your kitchen. For dinner parties, a stone tabletop grill can cook meat and vegetables right on the table, delighting your guests. Outdoor grills are outdoors because the process can be smoky and sometimes messy. Indoor grills use electricity or infrared technology and reduce the smoke factor sufficiently for indoor use. With precise controls and grated cook tops, the experience is just as satisfying as outdoor grilling, especially as you watch the rain or snow through the window from the comfort of your kitchen.

For those who prefer efficient, multi-functional tools, Williams-Sonoma offers combination grills. A panini press/grill combo can cook meats and vegetables on its ridged surface, but can also be closed to press a delicious panini sandwich. This a great way to showcase some artisan breads and exquisite cheeses along with your grilled meats, vegetables and specialty condiments. A grill/griddle combination with removable and changeable cooking surfaces functions as a panini maker, indoor grill and griddle. Replacement cooking surfaces allow you to swap quickly between surfaces and save the washing up for later.

If you don’t have room in your kitchen for another countertop appliance, a nonstick grill pan is a good choice for you. This handy tool looks and acts like a frying pan, fitting over your stove burner, but the grooved cooking surface mimics the result of a grill. It is large enough to cook a steak or a large piece of fish while your side dish simmers in the slow cooker.

Getting creative about cooking surfaces presents so many more options than the stove burners, which are limited in size and number. An electric griddle can be a good solution. The cooking surface is large enough for an entire meal. Particularly favored by breakfast fans, you can cook meat, eggs, and pancakes all on the same surface. Cleanup is easy, and you can get on with your day. A griddle with a large surface means breakfast for everyone, ready at the same time. Extra points if the griddle is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. Combination griddle/grills are true champions of convenience. With these devices, you can cook the entire meal without ever turning on the oven or dirtying a pot. Some have a drip tray for easy cleanup, and a safety auto shut off for when your meal is so satisfying that you can’t think about anything else. For breakfast, a griddle with two separately controlled heating elements is great for making pancakes and eggs, bacon or anything else your family could want. It’s easy to clean the nonstick surface of a griddle. Breakfast is done without a lot of dirty dishes to start your day.

Think beyond the stove and oven to some of the portable cooking surfaces that can simulate the effects of your outdoor grill, or give you the convenience of a single cook top for an especially large or diverse meal. Small appliances also make great gifts for weddings or housewarming parties. Give the gift of convenience and authenticity for someone you love, or buy one for yourself. When you can have a hot breakfast from the griddle, a panini for lunch and delicious grilled meat and vegetables for dinner, indoor grills and panini presses just might become your go-to cooking surfaces.
